webgen to wiki

[Régis d'Aubarède]

Hello,

Discovering Webgen, i wondering if we can join to a on-ine editor
for becoming a wiki....

Here (https://gist.github.com/4280357) a beginning :
* Sinatra server
* browse src dir, edit files online (use ACE editor)
* load webgen at startup (gem('webgen');require 'webgen/cli'),
* run regeneration at each web edit  (Webgen::CLI::CommandParser.new.parse([]))

this seem to work !

So my questions :

Should i continue this dev, or this already exist ?
If continue, is there anyone interested to collaborate ? (if yes, i will put it on gihub)

Regards,
Regis

An online editor like this does not exist (as far as I know of),
however the prior version of webgen had a thing called webgui which
allowed previewing and creating a webgen website with a browser instead
of the CLI.

Best regards,
Thomas

We have been working on a web frontend for webgen for 2 years now. It
has been used in production for about 1 year and can be considered as
stable. Our goal was to not only generate multilingual static websites
from one source tree, but also multilingual high quality PDF (via LaTeX)
and ebooks (output format EPUB and Kindle MOBI) from the same source tree.

The web interface is called Publishr. It also is a frontend for git for
robust multi-user collaboration, even users that are non-tech savy.

Publishr is a Rails web frontend for a commandline Ruby Gem which is
also called Publishr, which in turn depends on Webgen and Kramdown. The
ebook processing algorithms are custom.
